Autumn comes with the cool weather of the highlands, which is also the time when the rice ripens, covering itself in a brilliant golden color on the majestic, picturesque terraced fields in Mu Cang Chai.
Located more than 300 km from Hanoi, Mu Cang Chai - a small mountain town at the foot of Hoang Lien Son range, at an altitude of 2,000 m above sea level, is now no longer strange to those who want to explore and enjoy the scenery of the mountains and forests.
September and October are also the time when the terraced fields of Mu Cang Chai begin to put on a golden coat of ripe rice season, attracting many tourists from everywhere to come and admire the enchanting beauty of the Northwest highlands.
Compared to the fingerprints of heaven, the terraced fields here are an architectural work of art full of creativity from the skillful hands of the Mong people. Tourists come to Mu Cang Chai this season to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Northwest mountains...

Ms. Nguyen Thi Huyen Nga, from Hanoi, could not contain her emotions before the beauty of this place: "I was truly surprised and overwhelmed by the majestic beauty of the ripe rice season. From any angle, Mu Cang Chai is as beautiful as an artistic painting, like in paradise."
In the golden season, from the national highway as well as all the alleys of the village are dyed a golden color, the terraced fields seem to follow each other all the way to the streams in the valley and stretch to the horizon. It may be tiring with a journey on the winding mountain pass, but when you are satisfied with the wonderful scenery of the highland, it seems that all the fatigue disappears.
 Under the cool autumn sky, the scent of new rice wafts in the air... Looking back at the rice fields in Mu Cang Chai, I feel like I'm lost in a dream, forgetting the way home!
